The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom "it may concern Be it known that I, H. UHRY, of the city of New York, in the county and State of vNew York, have made a new and useful invention in Stair-Rods; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the ac companying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to an improvement on one of my stair-rods, for. which I have been allowed a patent, and it is designed to enable the wooden stair-rods to he reversible,.and to adapt my pin-fastenings to metal rods.

Figure 1, of m'y drawings, represents a front view of my improved stair-rod when in place;

Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same through its centre; and l y Figure 3 represents the same view of a metallic stairrod'.

A is a stairfrodrmade of wood, metal, or any other material, and of' anyl desired shape, but having, near both of its ends, a hole bored through the thickness thereof, oppositethe place where it is intended said rod should be secured to the stair-case.

In the case of a wooden rod, or when the rod is 'made of a certain thickness, a hole running in the direction of the rod, and bored from both its ends to a certain depth, has to be made to intersect theother holes'. This is seen in g. 2, and marked a. y

B is a hollow cap, slipping freely into the holes of the rod A, but having an outside Range at its base, to prevent it going through the same. v

This cap B has two small holes drilled through its opposite sides, to allow of the pin I being passed entirely through the same.

I use for this stair-rod the same screw-eye or drilled screw as for my other pin-fastening stair-rod. This is represented by T.

Now, when the cap B is placed over the screw-eye T, and that the pin P is passed through the hol'es in the cap B, this cap is retained firmly upon the screweye T; and if, before being placed upon the screw-eye T, the cap B is thrustinto the hole of the rodA, and while there, isfastened to the screw-eye T, as above stated, it is evident that the rod will be securely fastened also.

Disclaiming a stair-rod l made of wood having cavities or holes partly boredthrough its thickness, and holes in combination with the piu and hook, as described 'n my patent, No. 86,884, issued February 9, 1869,
